Gluten-Free at Jack Astor's

Menu clearly marked, GF deep fryer, GF buns, and a manager brought out the meal and said “celiac” to me while putting it down. Overall felt very safe although I can’t comment on cross contamination as I don’t get noticeable symptoms.

We were accompanied by friends and we found the meal delicious. The service was very good. I asked about the Standard operating procedures in regard to gluten free within the kitchen. They have dedicated fryers for the French fries, make sure the cooking space is cleaned. The burgers are gluten free and they have gluten free buns. I’m a pescatarian and they had very nice vegetarian burgers. The restaurant has changed and made the menu much smaller so some choice is limited. With all that in mind I would recommend this restaurant and make sure you tell them you need to be gluten free.

Excellent service. J’étais avec un groupe de 10 et le serveur m’a bien assuré et va à la cuisine pour vérifier que tout ok pour moi. J’ai très bien mangé et pas du tout malade. J’y retournerai avec confiance.

Wow! What a surprise! Great gluten-free options and knowledgeable staff. Menu items are marked GF but let wait staff know that you are celiac and it will be marked on the kitchen order! Simple as that! Highly recommend!

I’m not typically big on chain restaurants but this location handled gluten free very well. There are quite a few items marked on the menu and when I called beforehand, the manager confirmed they keep a dedicated fryer for the fries (and also the nacho chips). She did say after 9/930 they can sometimes turn that fryer off and run orders through their regular fryer so if you’re dining late - be sure to ask! I had the chicken nachos (chicken is baked so no cc from the grill where they do some flour items). They also had a peanut butter cheesecake that was gluten free and so so good!

Went for lunch, had Buddha side salad with grilled chicken breast. Shared a side of fries. Menu noted a number of GF items. My server was knowledgeable, attentive, and offered to check the grilled chicken breast seasoning with the kitchen. She confirmed a separate fryer for their French fries and that all Buddha salad ingredients were GF.

I've eaten here a few times and have never gotten sick afterwards. I'm a very sensitive celiac. I highly recommend this restaurant. Simply mention your food restrictions to the waiter. They have a good choice of gf plates to choose from.

While gf options are marked on the menu - was severely glutened here on the last day of vacation. Ordered a Budda Bowl hoping it would be a safe option - was assured it was gf and have been severely unwell since consuming. Used to be a trusted gf resto - no longer.

Gluten free hamburger, bun and fries for my son. They make a note when ordering. Very accommodating! Great restaurant to take a family. They also accommodated my other son who has a peanut and tree nut allergy (he had the chicken fingers and fries).

This is a go to place for us as we know the items on the menu can be GF and safe for celiac. The rice bowls are fantastik. We are not deep fried fans of anything, so we know the fries are not GF. The servers and kitchen staff do a great job especially when you tell them you are celiac.

I absolutely cannot eat gluten. I went for the first time yesterday and was beyond surprised and excited that they have a dedicated deep fryer for the fries. The food was really good and the staff was attentive and aware of celiac needs. Now if only they would add some non breaded wings to the dedicated fryer!!! Thank you for being a safe spot on the West Island! We desperately need more restaurants to be aware of this and offer more than just salad. I’m so tired of being told I can only eat lettuce!

We ended up here after a long day of traveling and other nearby restaurants all being full. They had a nice selection of gf options noted on the menu and the waitress showed me that she added a note about me being celiac on the order. However, the food is only ok, nothing spectacular. I'd eat here in a pinch.

I had a Mexican Chicken bowl and it was really great!

The girl who took my order over the phone (during COVID-19) was very knowledgeable about celiac disease and cross contamination risk. She said they even had a separate fryer. I ended up getting a Mexican chicken bowl that was very good. She assured me that proper precautions would be taken to limit the cross contamination risk. Felt very comfortable ordering from this location.

Not dedicated fryer present - still has gluten free bowls tho

Good food, staff well educated and owner is also celiac. Variety of food to choose from the steak is delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They used to have fajitas that I could order with lettuce wraps - was delicious and gluten free. Then they changed their menu and no longer offered the lettuce wrap option unfortunately :( Since then, I've only ordered the pad thai dish- which has been delicious and no issues with gluten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have a gluten intolerance and always eat here with my friend because it's a good compromise between the two of us. Their menu marks the gluten free options, but there isn't a ton. I also have a milk allergy so I usually get a bowl/salad without cheese/creamy dressing or the pad Thai and haven't had any issues.

Great food and service, but I got glutened. :-( Not safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menus has burger that you pay extra for the GF bun and it wasn’t great. Really not much choice . The had one GF beer on menus when I ordered it the said they no longer carry it left unhappy it’s hard to eat when your celiac but my lousy burger wan not worth $18.00

Gluten free items listed on the menu. But no dedicated fryer. GF buns available for burgers for an extra charge. Nachos are GF (not deep fried), lots of options for sides with steaks. Overall great food and very knowledgeable staff in regards to Celiac.
